    We had a wonderful time on the City Sightseeing Cape Town Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour. It was a very educational and informative journey, offering deep insights into the city’s history and landmarks. The experience was both humbling and gratifying, allowing us to appreciate the culture and stories behind each stop. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore and learn in a relaxed and engaging way.

    It was great that we could get on and off and spend as much time as we wanted at each of the stops. It didn't however explain when purchasing the tickets that what we had bought allowed us to go on all 3 of the routes on that day which was then a surprise for us. As a result of this we were unsure of how the whole thing works, being better at paper copies of things rather than technology it was not that clear for us and the start of the trip was rather confusing, however the driver that did stop at the stop we started from explained it all and we then had a good day out.

    Got tickets on line, super easy. The staff at the kiosk were very helpful, showed us which bus to board, gave us a rundown on how it all works. Well worth the trip. We hopped on and off a few times and had no problems at all.
